The latest advancements in electro-mechanical technologies,
coupled with stringent compliance and compatibitity requirements,
allow for the development and deployment of high-performance
electronics beyond traditional 19 inch Data-Communications
and Telecommunications applications.
AccordingLy, depending on the application, it is important to
utilize 19 inch cabinets that are designed for effective and robust
protection of sensitive electronics in non-communications environments-such as extreme
heat, high dust/contaminants,
clean room/laboratories,
Radio-Frequency/electromagnetic
interference (RFl/EMl)
and high shock and vibration.
